Degrowth

Degrowth is an economic philosophy closely associated with Environmentalism that stresses reductions in the consumption of energy in order to achieve sustainability with the environment. Degrowth also associates with anti-consumerism.

The degrowth movement opposes all forms of new energy or potential energy: Oil pipelines, new drilling, new nuclear power plants, and also desalination plants which effectively kills off hydrogen energy production.

Degrowth is an important belief of the World Economic Forum who argues that "The solution is essentially to move away from the assumption that growth is good."
